The Trinity Kitchen has had a facelift this month, and tempted five new food vendors to the space in the process.
The major rebrand has brought the likes of a VW Camper Van to the food court, along with the return of the repurposed horse trailer and re-vamped food vans. Although they're all worth visiting, the sunshine yellow Citreon caught our eye for all the right reasons.
The huge van decked out with a full-size working kitchen for the traders to use is currently inhabited by The Yorkshire Cheese Grill: stocking true Yorkshire meals using local produce.
The Yorkshire Cheese Grill is a true blessing for those working in the city centre searching for reasonably-priced hot food for their lunchtime meal. Expect cheese toasties, halloumi sarnies and cheesy chips aplenty, all with true Yorkshire names that sound all the more crisp when spoken with the true accent.
If you're looking for something a little different that champions Yorkshire produce, the Chuffin' Eck is our recommendation: it's a cheese toastie in a naan bread. Original? You know it. Delicious? We couldn't get enough.

This fine combination of flavours brings the best of Yorkshire out in its cheese choices and combines it with traditional curry staples and spices. Think Fountains Gold and Yorkshire Double Blend with mango chutney, fresh red chili, spring onion, coriander, garlic and cumin all grilled between two thick slices of naan bread.
The concept can't be found anywhere else, as far as we're aware- and it only makes up one of the ten options available from the food truck, so there's plenty for you to try over The Yorkshire Cheese Grill's nine week stint at Trinity Kitchen.
The Fill Thi Boots is your classic toastie dish that shouldn't be skipped upon your visit. It's a Fountains Gold Cheddar and Yorkshire Double Blend with sweet red onion chutney and English mustard, all grilled and toasted between two slices of fresh Yorkshire bloomer.
Vegans needn't skip out this van, there's a grilled vegan version with vegan cheese and garlic spinach cream for you to get your hands on too.

To get the full menu and have a bite of these unique toasties, head over to Trinity Kitchen throughout February and March to visit the Yorkshire Cheese Grill.
If you're lucky, you might spot the travelling toastie van out and about in Leeds too: there's plenty of pop-ups, including those at Leeds Docks and Chow Down where you can try out some good ol' fashioned Yorkshire-based foodie goodness.
It all started back in 1961 when Hungarian butcher Sandor Béres left his home city of Budapest during the 1956 uprising against the Stalinist government.
After the government took control of his father's butchers shops, Sandor set out to establish the chain once more and so, Béres was born.
And thank god it was, as for over 60 years now their iconic pork sandwich has been fuelling the hungry people of Sheffield, and we'd go as far to say it's one of the best sarnies in the city.

Hot roast pork, herby stuffing, crispy crackling and fruity apple sauce all crammed into a soft bap - it really doesn’t get much better than that.
But, what makes it so special? Béres claims it's all in the preparation and quality control.
Being a traditional butchers, their pork joints are traditionally roasted and cured in house to give that succulent texture and crispy crackling every single time.
They use around seven tonnes of pork and four tonnes of flour per week to feed us hungry lot, and it's no surprise when you see the queues forming outside your local Béres every lunch time.

The very first shop was born at Wadsley Bridge where they quickly built a reputation for their sandwiches, this then allowed them to become a proper Sheffield household name after expanding rapidly through the 2000s.
They now have 14 sites across Sheffield, and each site is as good as the next. Not only are the pork sandwiches class but if you're ever faced with a hangover no matter how severe, their stacked breakfast baps are always there to save the day.
But why we love Béres most of all is the lovely staff who are always there to offer a smile and a chinwag, but what else do you expect from the people of Sheffield hey?

Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because everything Silver's do is absolutely class.
The progress so far. Images: The Hoot Leeds
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as last month they announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named 'Silver's Bakehouse' serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
What exactly has not yet been revealed, with owner Chris keeping details tightly under wraps.
But what we do know is that every single thing will be made fresh, with love, in-house, at their new brand spanking new location in Farsley.
They've been keeping adoring fans updated on their socials with renovation updates, and it's already looking absolutely top tier.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is opening next Friday 22 May - just in time for the late May bank holiday weekend. We'll see you there.
